Audiences during movies tend to keep their attention focused on the action and things that are moving. The things in the background are usually made with CGI and aren't payed as much attention to. This is because the filmmakers want to find out where the audience will be looking at and then they can figure out what they can fake and what they shouldn't. Apparently, the only things that can't or shouldn't be faked are physics and people's faces.
Faces are far too difficult to fake and still look normal, even with great technology. Physics also are hard to convincingly fake, and having things physically fall or roll the way they are supposed to, creates a sense of realism. The human mind is able to quickly take bits of information from one spot then take more info from another spot and immediately simultaneously process it all together to look like a continuous flow.
It's always fun to hear about how people are controlling my mind...So this is great.
It only makes sense that people are looking at the action in a scene of a movie and not the details in the background. We all have this little bit of A.D.D. in which we observe everything moving around and ignore the uninteresting stuff. Although of course if it's choosing between looking at one of the 400 different people in the background, or the cool red car flying and flipping in front of the camera, which would seem more interesting?
